[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] question - advanced practice nurses

[CIS-PIDD]

Professors and colleagues:

I am hoping that you would be able to indulge a small random request.  My section needs some information regarding the role of advanced practice nurses (APNs) in clinical practice.  This information is to be used for our negotiations with a community hospital which we are covering.  Our questions are listed below.

Please forward your answers to me (karl.yu at uchospitals.edu) or Jenn Burns (jburns at peds.bsd.uchicago.edu).  Thank you.

1.  Do have an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) who practices independently in a subspecialty (e.g., Infectious Diseases, Allergy/Immunology, etc.) at your hospital?  Do they practice outpatient, or inpatient, or both?

2.  Do they perform initial consults independently?

3.  Do they only do follow up consultations?

If you would not like to answer these questions in a public forum, please email me at jburns at peds.bsd.uchicago.edu   Thank you.
